Oh ok- i guess I misunderstood. In your sense, yes, they probably aren't something one would want to keep revisiting.

Finished a book off my Not Library shelf - The Empress of Ireland: A Chronicle of an Unusual Friendship by Christopher Robbins. This was a rambling story told about an interesting character. While I liked the writing style, the organization left much to be desired and could have used a good editor. I also couldn't quite get the point of the memoir until the very end and other than that it was a challenge book, was not very motivated to finish. Not worth reading. 2 stars

I updated message 3 and realised only today I reached my goal of 45 about two weeks ago. Since I finished yesterday book #57 I decided not to update my goal and just read as much as I can - doing it anyway. I think in the end I'll reach something around 80 books.

All Joy and No Fun: The Paradox of Modern Parenthood

1/5

Just cleared a book off my Next in Series shelf - Cress by Marissa Meyer. While I appreciate the next step in the series, this story was not quite as tight as Scarlet. I'm moving right on to the final book. 3.5 stars

18/20

Update: Just finished On the Road, which was totally lame, but a classic and therefore one I have wanted to read for a while. Not worth it, so you know. However, it does put me at 13/15.

Hoping I get through another few books in June, but we'll see.

7/10 - God's Philosophers by James Hannan.

A nice little romp into the Middle Ages. An accessible account of key thinkers, and the foundations they laid for those who followed such as Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo.

8/10. I can't count it would seem. LOL. God's Philosophers is my eighth book for this challenge.

Completed 22/30

Just completed another book off the Audible shelf - A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. I really enjoyed this book! At the beginning, I had no idea what the premise was, just that I needed a decent fantasy book. I listened to the audiobook until the final 10%, which was excellent. The writing is really well done, the flip on the fairy tale intriguing, and the characters interesting and complex. My only issue with the book was where it turned into a romance novel but that was only a small percentage. Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars
